About 0UQG8ZZ

0UQG8ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a repair procedure on the vagina using a via natural or artificial opening endoscopic approach. In ICD-10-PCS, repair means restoring, to the extent possible, a body part to its normal anatomic structure and function.

In plain terms, this corresponds to other repair of vagina, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (70.79).

For a different body part, codes include 0UQ08ZZ (right ovary), 0UQ18ZZ (left ovary), 0UQ28ZZ (bilateral ovaries), 0UQ48ZZ (uterine supporting structure), 0UQ58ZZ (right fallopian tube), 0UQ68ZZ (left fallopian tube) and 5 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0UQG0ZZ (open), 0UQG3ZZ (percutaneous), 0UQG4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0UQG7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0UQGXZZ (external).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 579 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with MCC), DRG 580 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures with CC), DRG 581 (Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 820 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures with MCC), DRG 821 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures with CC) and DRG 822 (Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Other Skin, Subcutaneous Tissue and Breast Procedures”, “Lymphoma and Leukemia with Major O.R. Procedures”, “Myeloproliferative Disorders or Poorly Differentiated Neoplasms with Major O.R. Procedures” and 2 more.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
